Great idea! I’m going to try it with 3, 1” baffles in the can to slow down the beads bouncing and hopefully increase the time they spend in contact with the sandpaper. I’ve got lots of beautiful cutoffs that I hate to waste.

I’ll try to blog it next weekend, all the stages – from a scrap cutting to a beads polishing.In short, it looks like this:1. Make a container with rotating sand paper bottom and sand paper still sides (or vice versa).2. Make a holes for a dust collector in the bottom.3. Place the scraps in a container. They do not have to be a cubic (see the masur birch beads on first picture). 4. Close the container!5. Sand it about 1-2 hours.6 Change the sand paper on bottom and sides. First, I am using 80 Grit and next – 180 and 320 Grit.7. In the end you can use a wool disk in the same container for waxing and polishing beads.
